Yes I can. We were taught to "write" when I went to school. I prefer writing to printing. My husband (age 82) prefers to print. My Grandmother wrote in fancy cursive, using fountain pens.

Sadly many skills are being lost. Sewing being one of them. I think all kids should have a course, each year in school, doing one of the trades. Each year they have to pick a different trade to learn. That way they can learn a little about each one & if they choose can go on to learn more about a chosen trade. As kids we were taught many skills of the trades as we grew up, because our grandparents & parents did all their own repair work. It was never hired to be done.
